Isn't this literally what they do at dinner mystery parties (lol)

I'm a total video game igno but even I know my kids played Among Us back when it was the new thing.

That's straight comedy dog. Real life comedy.

You'd think they'd know but...

Omg they were training children as young as 10 to be assassins!!

My Blood on the Clocktower attendance will look very bad....

What's funny is that if everyone was a killer because of games the world would be a GTA V server. They have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

I wonder if playing werewolf/variant thereof irl qualifies one to be a pro assassin or if it's only vidyagames

Shit. Both of my kids and several of my nieces and nephews spent the better part of the day a few Christmases back playing this, now they're going to start killing pharma bosses! Better start saving for the lawyer fees.

How do they even find those weirdos who somehow managed to escape on of the driving forces of culture?

Senator Lieberman called, he wants his moral panic back.

themanfromrio.bsky.social•198 days ago

Did he play Assassin's Creed, or would that have been too on the nose?

isabellemain.bsky.social•198 days ago

I mean, it's 2024. No one wants to admit they've played any Ubislop after AC Black Flag

catopuma.bsky.social•198 days ago

The mind boggles. This reportage is sus.

fplynch.bsky.social•198 days ago

are they in diners

bklynmichael42.bsky.social•198 days ago

Hell no. They stay in and order avocado toast from Uber Eats.

thesummoningdark.bsky.social•198 days ago

God help anyone that has ever played "Call of Duty: Black Ops" then!

Me: Assassination denotes targeted killing for political reasons. Killing in Among Us is more like the Xenomorph in Alien, but with disguises.

Actual Among Us Steams: I'm going to kill player X and gaslight everyone that player Y did it, just for the meme value.

I play a lot of Pokemon Go

I guess that means I’m gonna start dogfighting in my spare time

gsjphd.bsky.social•198 days ago

I played Deep Rock Galactic a few hundred times and now I'm a bearded beer-swilling geoscientist

coincidence???

stoley321.bsky.social•196 days ago

And? 🙄

smartchae.bsky.social•198 days ago

My mom is 64 and plays Among Us with my nieces.

Or maybe played…I think they got sick of it a while ago.

Further research revealed that the suspect who led police on a four day manhunt had been known to play hide-and-seek as a child. Extremely ironic!

gaurelin.bsky.social•198 days ago

They are about as out of touch with real life as the film execs who decided to rerelease Morbius to theaters after it flopped the first time, because it was trending... 🤦🏻

I'd say it's at this point naive to believe they didn't know exactly what they're doing.
